You might ask this question in the [chirp_devel] mailing list to have a more targeted audience. I use Serial Port Monitor here. I don't know if it will run in Parallels VM, but it runs in my Windows VirtualBox VM. It is a paid program. I bought it when it was only $69. It has a ridiculous price of $199 now! It looks like you can get a "Non-Commercial FREE" copy in exchange for a review. https://www.serial-port-monitor.org/ There is a "free" program that I used before purchasing what I am using now. It provides 5, 20-minute sessions per day. You've got nothing to lose by trying it. https://freeserialanalyzer.com/ I just ordered a BF-C50 from a seller on AliExpress. If they are a legitimate seller, the radio should be delivered around the 2nd week of October. If you haven't gotten yours sorted out by then, I can make some serial captures for you.
